The integration of pressure or inertial sensors into an integrated circuit fabrication and packaging flow is described. In one example, a diaphragm is formed by depositing a metal over a first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed over the diaphragm. A metal mesh layer is formed over the second dielectric. The first dielectric layer is etched under the diaphragm to form a cavity. The cavity is lined with a sealing layer. The cavity is covered to form a chamber adjoining the diaphragm, and the cover is sealed against the cavity.

This invention relates to inductive inertial sensors employing a magnetic drive and/or sense architecture. In embodiments, translational gyroscopes utilize a conductive coil made to vibrate in a first dimension as a function of a time varying current driven through the coil in the presence of a magnetic field. Sense coils register an inductance that varies as a function of an angular velocity in a second dimension. In embodiments, the vibrating coil causes first and second mutual inductances in the sense coils to deviate from each other as a function of the angular velocity. In embodiments, self-inductances associated with a pair of meandering coils vary as a function of an angular velocity in a second dimension. In embodiments, package build-up layers are utilized to fabricate the inductive inertial sensors, enabling package-level integrated inertial sensing advantageous in small form factor computing platforms, such as mobile devices.
